Dear Resident Families,

Here we are at the end of another year and what a year it has been! Hopefully, 2021 will be a happy and healthy one for all of us!

Since there was another positive case last week, we continue testing twice a week. Our staff members were tested on Monday and all Residents — both those in the skilled nursing units and apartments — were tested yesterday. We await the results.

We are still missing consent forms for the Covid-19 vaccine. We can now accept consent by phone. Please email the form, or phone the Sister Supervisor of the unit where you loved one lives as soon as possible. CVS will be coming next Monday, January 4, to administer the vaccine to the Residents and to those of our staff in the first group.

Christmas was quiet and peaceful. Father Evans celebrated Mass in the chapel and the Residents participated via closed-circuit TV. A special dinner of filet mignon or Cornish hen was served along with yule log cake. In the afternoon, Friends in Christ, the Filipino Choir that usually animates our Sunday Mass once a month, took time to come in the afternoon to sing Christmas carols. They walked around the Home and sang under windows. That was a special treat for the Residents.

On Sunday, the feast of the Holy Family, three of our new Residents were enrolled in the Holy Family Association. This was done virtually. All of our Catholic Residents throughout the world can become members of the Association and benefit spiritually.

I hope each of you had a Blessed Christmas. The Little Sisters join me in now wishing you a Happy and peace-filled New Year!

God bless you all!

Sincerely,
Mother Celine Thérèse, l.s.p.
